Eidos Montreal might not completely do away with its celebrated single-player experiences, but its focus is shifting

[/FONT]A recent “vision statement” released by Tomb Raider and Deus Ex developer Eidos Montreal has created concern among fans that the studio is abandoning single-player games altogether.
Studio head David Anfossi stated that Eidos Montreal is “placing an added emphasis on the online experiences in our games, striving to continually provide players with content that is memorable and impactful.”
Several job openings involving online multiplayer and programming accompanied the statement, with director of online technology Sebastien Bessette adding that Eidos Montreal is “working to empower our content creators and promote an iterative game creation process” that will ultimately lead to “one single goal, that being to deliver the best online gaming experiences to our players.”
Following the cancellation of Visceral Games’ single-player Star Wars gameback in October and the popularization of the “games as a service” model, Eidos Montreal’s statement has come across to some as a death knell for the single-player Deus Ex series, especially considering that publisher Square Enix placed the series on hiatus back in January.
However, Anfossi somewhat dispelled these rumors in a recent Twitter reply to a fan who expressed concern that Edios was no longer going to produce single-player games:

@DavidAnfossi has announced that Eidos Montreal will be "placing an added emphasis on the online experiences in our game." - RIP Eidos, it was nice while it lasted. For any other devs reading this. PEOPLE WANT OFFLINE STORY DRIVEN SINGLE PLAYER GAMES! #PCGaming #Gaming​

Nobody said we give up the narrative single player games; this is what we like to do. Where did you read that?! ​

What’s more likely than the complete abandonment of single-player games is that Eidos Montreal is looking to expand the online multiplayer components of its current titles.



After all, the studio is reuniting with Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics to work on The Avengers as part of Square Enix’s multi-game deal with Marvel, which will most likely have some sort of multiplayer component.
Not to mention the rumors that Eidos Montreal is heading up developmenton the recently confirmed Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the next entry in a series that has a largely ignored but still solid multiplayer mode reminiscent of Uncharted’s. It’s possible that Square Enix would like to see a larger return on its investment into the Tomb Raider series by expanding the multiplayer, and maybe that’s where Eidos Montreal’s online focus comes into play.

**** off.

Jim Sterling said that Square Enix's management can be impulsive and reactionary with their decision making and that makes it hard for the developers who make games for them, and their bad management is why games like the Tomb Raider reboot weren't profitable despite selling millions of copies.

Oh cool so this is still happening?

I give marvel a lot of guff for their video game divisions but I suppose it takes time to reset them with the right talent and I just have to be patient. It definitely sounds like they got the right people for this

Looks like the talent roster is pretty impressive.

Developer Crystal Dynamics is assembling its team of industry talent to bring its game based on Marvel’s Avengers to life. The developer and publisher Square Enix announced today that it had hired 15 “top industry talent” to the Avengers development team, including former Naughty Dog creative director Shaun Escayg and Stephen Barry, a 27-year veteran of EA and Visceral Games.

Escayg, who served as creative director and writer on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, will serve as creative director on The Avengers Project. Barry was previously director of product development at Visceral Games, where he worked on the Dead Space franchise. Visceral Games was shuttered late last year.

As for the other hires, Crystal Dynamics studio co-head Ron Rosenberg touted them as “world-renowned industry veterans, spanning production leadership, animation, design, art and engineering, who have previously worked on games such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Dead Space, [and] Star Wars: Battlefront.”

when I saw Uncharted ,EA & Visceral in the same space, I thought it was Amy Henning that got signed

 

[First Avenger]

Impressive. I really hope the single-player, story content is meaty. I'd be down with having a starting roster of just the big Four, Cap,Thor,Iron Man and Hulk with their moveset and powers. Then they could add more characters as time goes on,kinda like InJustice.

When both Square Enix's and Marvel's Twitter accounts teased impending news yesterday, we figured there would be some superhero goodness coming to the next Kingdom Hearts game. After all, Kingdom Hearts is a mix of Final Fantasy and Disney, and Disney owns Marvel. It only made sense.

We couldn't have been more wrong. Instead, we're getting a brand-new series of games under the title Avengers Reassemble.

Let's cut to the chase and watch the trailer.

There's a lot of buzz about this on twitter. And it's one in a series! Intriguing

[FONT=&quot]Avengers developer is hiring someone to manage microtransactions [/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]| April 9, 2018

[/FONT][/FONT]If you thought the Avengers game wasn't going to include microtransactions anyway, then you're crazy.[FONT=&quot]Read more [/FONT]

A job listing for developer Eidos Montreal has some worried that the upcoming Avengers game will be filled with microtransactions.
Eidos Montreal, who is developing the Avengers game with Crystal Dynamics, recently added a listing for a monetization specialist who will “[m]anage and improve the in-game stores in terms of content, experience and pricing strategy.”


To be clear, the job listing does not specifically reference the Avengers game—or any other Eidos Montreal title, for that matter—and seems to be a overall company hire. Besides managing in-game stores, this monetization specialist will also be tasked with creating and managing “A/B testing campaigns inside and across Eidos Montreal titles,” meaning that this position will seemingly manage marketing campaigns for multiple games, not just the Avengers.
Still, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Avengers game did include microtransactions in some way. After all, there have been major hints that the Avengers title will share some similarities to online games like The Division or Destiny based on job positions that Crystal Dynamics listed for the Avengers title. Perhaps most tellingly, Marvel stated that the game will “introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come” when it was originally announced. That definitely sounds like an online title to us, and microtransactions are all but guaranteed, considering the legacy of different costumes for Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man that scream with microtransaction potential.


More immediately, this monetization specialist could hint at what’s to come in Eidos Montreal’s other upcoming major release, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which may include a multiplayer mode similar to the one found in 2013’s Tomb Raider before it was unceremoniously dumped in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Microtransactions could easily include new character and weapon skins, as well as DLC maps and other standard multiplayer microtransactions.

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[CoherentChaos]

totally agree. I remember being pretty bummed out with Ultimate Alliance 2 where both Cap and Iron Man were very poorly designed. They were quickly outpaced by other characters and not worth using unless you just really wanted an Avengers team.

Then Future Fight took forever to make Cap, Thor and Hulk at least somewhat decent compared to the more powerful characters that were gradually added. And Iron Man is still pretty meh. (But to be fair the balance in that game is really broken)

So for the next Avengers focused game I feel like if they can't nail the big 4, make each feel great to play as and keep them relevant as new characters are added... Then for me there's no point. It'd be like forgetting to make Mario's jumps fun to perform. The big 4 just *have* to be extremely well thought out and built in tandem with the game's core mechanics.

 

[Iceman]

Please be good. Hopefully we hear something at E3.

 

[KevanG]

I'm hoping we get another game like the excellent Avengers Battle for Earth.

Everyone remember the ground breaking and immersive gameplay? The amazing combat? The terrific story?

No? Me neither.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

After playing a lot of God of War recently, it's made me think how great an Avengers game would be if the right amount of detail and time is put into exactly how the characters should handle. Like, the whole combat mechanic of Kratos throwing and catching the axe feels so satisfying, and that's really only just one aspect of his fighting style.

The biggest hurdle I see with this game is that Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk all control so differently... I'd almost prefer they focus on one hero and get it totally right, instead of a bonanza of characters.

That said, my ideal scenario would be 2-4 player co-op with the depth of something like Tomb Raider or the Arkham games. I don't know how likely that would be, but it's basically the game I've been wanting for the last decade

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah that’s why I reckon just focus on solo games. If you’re doing a team up just make like a LEGO style game but for a proper triple A thing go for solos. Wolfenstein sequel for cap, battle engine Aquila esque for iron man, god of war for Thor.

And goddamit I want a doctor strange game so bad

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I wish we could get a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, maybe with Thanos as the main villain.

 

[Silvermoth]

You know it’s so weird, so many fans are asking for marvel ultimate alliance, you would think someone at marvel would have delivered by now. It must be the easiest way to make your fans happy and yet they don’t seem to have any idea?

I'm already sick of online games. No mas.

oy that gonna take some explaining but it hastodo with the game company that made the game have owner ship while only the characters were liccened out to tehm like their on loan . nottomention the fact that the current head of activiton has been screw over marvel since the dead pool game and formner dev's that left the publisher have said so. btw I remeber apost saying in a nother thread that they had tibitsof story where doom was the next villan and it seem like a loot ofthat showed up inthe first chapter of marvel heroes omega and marvel was sayin that marvel heroes omega was what marvel allince and x-menlegend were and both thos latter games were in spired by diablo to them whichwas why they had MHO made in the first place. anyway un tilthere's a new head act activison or untill the head of blizzard takes that ip of marvel allice away from the head of activsion which isn't likely another game isn't likely

and marvel will continue to be screwed over . they can't use the name with any other studio. I'm it's just how it is and every time some ask them on their comiccon video the host have this look on their face l intthey aren't allowed to talk about it or disspointed when they do reach out to activison but are screwed over yet again.


ok this is whhat I have for y'all today
